Anyway, I don't plan to spend much time in Glendale any mor ...[text shortened]... e it out if they cared enough. If they care that much then they've read what I had to say.
you think your letter demanding the right to drive stoned got their respect? ok, somebody get me a beer, i'm finished after that one... stick a fork in me

Originally posted by rubberjaw30No; the claim that marijuana impairs driving is a positive claim, as is the claim that red wine is good for the heart. Both require proof before they should be accepted.
a report saying that marijuana doesn't impair driving is comparable to the report that alcohol, particularly red ine, is good for the heart
it presents a possibility as fact, when in actuality the American Heart Association warns strongly against the consumption of any alcohol ever
i defy you to show a test conducted by a government agency that says marijuana does not affec reaction time...
Does the claim that Asian women are safe drivers need more proof before it's accepted? Until that proof is provided police should arrest Asian women drivers because "everyone knows they can't drive"?

Did I say I thought I'd get the respect of the police? No.
You need to work on your reading comprehension. Maybe smoking a j will help you focus.
Oh, my mistake. You're more of an alcohol drinker. Well, I guess I can understand why you're afraid of stoned drivers, considering you're experienced with alcohol but apparently not marijuana.
Marijuana is not dangerous like alcohol is.
You wanted government studies?
… While cannabinoids were detected in 7 percent of the drivers, the psychoactive agent THC was found in only 4 percent. … The THC-only drivers had a responsibility rate below that of the drugfree drivers. … While the difference was not statistically significant, there was no indication that cannabis by itself was a cause of fatal crashes.”

OMIGOD Glendale, Cal. Is Damian's steakhouse still in business? Does it still have the chintzy hawaiian/polynesian island murals and decorations?
I used to go there in the mid-1960's. I'm really old.

The police officer thought I had been drinking because I had just pulled out of the college,despite my protests that I was sober as a judge. Took me in, booked me, the station let me loose at 2 AM after I passed all their breathalyzer tests, didn't bother telling me my car had been impounded. I found that out after hitch-hiking back to where it used to be.
I was living 80 miles away, had to sit up all night in a Denny's before my wife could get to me the next morning. Cost me $150 to get my car back even though I'd done nothing wrong.
Yes, I remember riverside.

When I worked as a mechanic in the States, a guy brought his car in to be fixed. There was apparently a nasty rattle that had developed over the weekend. I took his car out, drove around over every bump I could find, and managed to find that the source of the rattle was under the driver's side seat. When I removed the seat to find out what was going on ...[text shortened]... eaction time is less. Driving whilst intoxicated, regardless of the substance, is a dumbass idea.

Originally posted by lordhighgusNo, the dealership did. I just wasted a load of time finding his ashtray because he was too stoned to realise he had left a can under his seat, and was too lazy to look for his own damn self. So he deserved it.

The LAPD is already in deep doo doo for the MacArthur Park episode.
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[Macarthur Park lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why
[extended break]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

My Dad says the cops are jerks in Glendale (I only told him how they got me for the lack of licence plate lights, not the rest). So now I know - Glendale and Irvine are places to watch out for.
